Chrisley Knows Best - Wikipedia

The series was pitched to ten networks, nine of them made offers to buy it.[13] USA Network picked up the series in December 2013.[32] The series was executive produced by Adam Greener, Jim Sayer, and Stephanie Chambers.[33] Maverick TV and All3Media America were the production companies behind the series.[34] The series producers had access to the Chrisleys' schedule and decided which events to film.[35] The family stated that being on television made them think twice before doing things, both on and off-camera. Julie said, "People are watching, people are looking at you. Whether that be good or bad, they're gonna catch it all."[36]

On April 14, 2014, the USA Network ordered a 12-episode second season of Chrisley Knows Best.[37] At the time the series garnered more young viewers than any other original program on USA Network, with a median age of 36.5 years among viewers.[37] The series aired its 100th episode in June 2018.[35][38]

On August 13, 2019, during the seventh season of the show, Todd and Julie were indicted by the Georgia Department of Revenue on multiple tax evasion and bank fraud charges. They turned themselves in on August 14 and were later released on a $100,000 bond.[39][40] Despite the charges, the series was renewed for an eighth season.[41][42] The couple settled the case with the Georgia Department of Revenue but still faced multiple federal charges including tax evasion.[43][44] The federal trial began on May 17, 2022, and ended on June 7; they were convicted on each of the charges against them.[45] On November 21, 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to 12 and 7 years in prison respectively.[46] Both the series and the Growing Up Chrisley spin-off were canceled, although a handful of episodes from the previously-renewed tenth season of Chrisley Knows Best, filmed prior to the trial, aired on USA Network in 2023.[47]
